How to Make a Bed Canopy for a Slanted Wall

Slanted walls present more challenges than what immediately meets the eye. There's the challenge of finding proper places for your furniture, the challenge of not hitting your head on the slanted walls and the challenge of decorating the room in a manner that helps to accentuate its unique space, rather than hindering its structural lines. A canopy can assist you if you have a bedroom with slanted walls. It softens the sharp corners of the room while making the fabric of the canopy look more robust and dramatic.

Instructions

- 1

- 3
  Install screw-in 1-inch cup hooks along each far right and left edge of the wall. Start at the top, screwing in a hook every 12 inches.

  Lay your fabric facedown. Thread a needle with nylon thread in a color that matches your canopy. Sew a 1-inch-wide gold or metal ring at the top right and left corners of your fabric with a few tight stitches. Continue to sew metal rings on either edge of the fabric, spacing them out every 18 inches.

  Attach your canopy to the wall by sliding the rings onto the hooks. Your canopy will billow with natural folds and swag.
